It's an 1976 155.114



"240D 3.0"




It uses those huge, loop plugs. It has the big thermo switch over by the plugs mounted in the head. the plugs are connected in a series, with ceramic bushings in between the wires. It has NO gorilla knob, and the typical GP light on the inside.

When checking the wiring with an ohm meter (on diode mode, beeping whenever a connection is present) I get a beep just about no matter where I touch the probes. end of the screw on the GP to ground gets a signal, glowplug to glowplug gets a signal (this is with the car completely off) When you set the key to the glow position, I get a little smoke from the GPs, and a reading of .5 VDC from ground to glow plug's screw.

Anyone have a diagram of this system; the russian EPC site lacks anything on the GP system, I'd at least like to see if everything is in it's correct place (I tried my best, I even took a bunch on pics before disassembly; but it's easy to overlook a small detail.)

A decent brand of vinyl paint should work for the map pocket but I haven't tried it to be sure. Or are you refering to changing the entire interior color?
I looked around my stuff and the only spare map pocket I have is a tan one with a 1" chunk missing on the top edge. Those darn things sure are fragile.
